Artist's Comments

UPDATE: Reprocessed adding a levels adjustment and removed the border.

Until the beach was full of people running around, doing yoga, kick boxing, and exercising I couldent belive how many people were there :faint:

First shot to be uploaded from my trip to Sydney, Taken at Coogee Bay at around 6 in the morning of the rock baths there. Dont worry i dident have any ice cream there XD Yea i know that was ages ago but i couldn't help myself

Im very happy with the shots i got, the sunrise wasent that spectacular but this was the best it got, it only lasted for about 20 minutes, so waking up at 4 and driving there and setting up in the dark was worth it :D Big thanks to my dad for that :highfive:

After i had packed everything back up in the car i decided to go for a uni-cycle ride and saw 2 other photographers walking around 30 minutes after the sky had closed up into an over cast day. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them, they looked so disappointed if only they where there half an hour earlier :lmao:

I was inspired to go here by :iconkaton241162:'s [link] and :iconsun-seeker:'s [link]


Location: Coogee Bay, Sydney, Australia
Camera: Pentax k100d
Lens: Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5
Filter: Hoya UV

Editing:
Minor raw adjustments, minor adjustments to the sky with curves


Update: changed the border after a couple of people said they dident like it, along with the horizon being straightened by 0.06 of a degree.

Love the shot Nathan. Was it high tide?

You are very lucky that your Dad was willing to take you there so early, although I know that I did would still do things like that for my children :-)

We often miss the small things in life as we rush through the day doing whatever we need to do to survive in this hectic world.

Thanks Malcolm, yup :nod: it was going out though, i had to quickly grab my tripod and jump back a couple of time as not to get wet.

Yea my dad is often very willing to take me out to take photos :)
